The Persian Version (2023)
Leila ist eine iranisch-amerikanische junge Frau, die versucht, ihre beiden so gegensätzlichen und verfeindeten Kulturen in Einklang zu bringen - was nicht immer ganz einfach ist. Dabei stellt sie auch die Etiketten in Frage, die Familie und die Gesellschaft ihr kurzerhand verpassen. Als die ganze Familie wegen einer Herztransplantation ihres Vaters in New York City zusammenkommt, bemüht sich Leila, ihr Beziehungsleben unterm Radar zu halten und ihr "richtiges" Leben von ihrem Familienleben zu trennen. Als ihr Geheimnis jedoch kurzerhand gelüftet wird, treten auch die deutlichen Parallelen zwischen Leila und ihrer Mutter Shireen zu Tage...
